First 100 Prime Numbers
The first 100 prime numbers. Primes are divisible only by 1 and themselves — they are the building blocks of all integers.
2 is the only even prime — every other even number divides by 2. The widest gap between consecutive neighbors in this list is 18: primes wander further apart as numbers grow, yet never run out — Euclid proved the supply is endless. The list stays tight as well: all 100 of these primes fit inside the range 2 through 541, where they make up about 18.5% of all integers — prime density thins slowly as numbers grow.

Frequently asked questions
What are the first 100 prime numbers?
The first 100 primes are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29….
What is the 100th prime number?
541 is the 100th prime number.
Why is 1 not a prime number?
A prime must have exactly two distinct factors: 1 and itself. The number 1 has only one factor, so it is not prime (and not composite either).
